Installer’s Choice and Optional Accessories

Understanding Mounting and Installer’s Choice®

Hunter’s patented 3-position mounting system provides you maximum

installation exibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in one

of three ways, depending on ceiling height and your preference: Low

Prole, Standard, or Angled mounting. e steps in this manual include

instructions for all three Installer’s Choice mounting methods.

Considering Optional Accessories

Consider using Hunter’s optional accessories, including a wall-mounted

or remote speed control. To install and use the accessories, follow

the instructions included with each product. For quiet and optimum

performance of your Hunter fan, use only Hunter speed controls.

For ceilings higher than 8 feet, you can purchase

Hunter extension downrods. All Hunter fans use

sturdy 3/4” diameter pipe to assure stability and

wobble-free performance.

Standard Mounting hangs from the

ceiling by a downrod (included).

Angled Mounting recommended for a

vaulted or angled ceiling

1 • Getting Ready

To install a ceiling fan, be sure you can do the following:

• Locate the ceiling joist or other suitable support in ceiling.

• Drill holes for and install wood screws.

• Identify and connect electrical wires.

• Lift 40 pounds.

If you need help installing the fan, your Hunter fan dealer can direct

you to a licensed installer or electrician.

Gathering the Tools

You will need the following tools for installing the fan:

• Electric drill with 9/64” bit

• Standard screwdriver (magnetic tip recommended)

• Phillips-head screwdriver (magnetic tip recommended)

• Wrench or pliers

• Ladder (height dependent upon installation site)

Checking Your Fan Parts

Carefully unpack your fan to avoid damage to the fan parts. Refer to

the included Parts Guide. Check for any shipping damage to the motor

or fan blades. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your Hunter

dealer or call Hunter Technical Support Department at 888-830-1326.

Preparing the Fan Site

Before you begin installing the fan, follow all the instructions in

the pullout sheet called “Preparing the Fan Site.” Proper ceiling fan

location and attachment to the building structure are essential for

safety, reliable operation, maximum eciency, and energy savings.

Installing Multiple Fans?

If you are installing more than

one fan, keep the fan blades and

blade irons (if applicable) in sets,

as they were shipped.

42686-01 • 01/07/09 • Hunter Fan Company

2-1. Drill two pilot holes into the wood support structure through the

outermost holes in the outlet box. e pilot holes should be 9/64”

in diameter.

2-2. Your fan comes with two neoprene noise isolators (“Isolators”).

Position the isolators between the ceiling plate and ceiling by

inserting the raised areas on each isolator into the holes in the

ceiling plate.

2-3. read the lead wires from the outlet box down through the hole

in the middle of the ceiling plate.

2-4. Align the slotted holes in the ceiling plate with the pilot holes you

drilled in the wood support structure. For proper alignment use

slotted holes directly across from each other.

Note: e isolators should be ush against the ceiling.

2-5. Place a at washer on each of the two 3” screws and pass the

screws through the slotted holes in the ceiling plate into the pilot

holes you drilled.

Tighten the screws into the 9/64” pilot holes; do not use lubricants

on the screws. Do not over tighten.

3 • Assembling and Hanging the Fan

Step 3-5

Canopy Slots

You can assemble your fan for standard mounting (steps 3-1 – 3-2) or

for low prole mounting (steps 3-3 – 3-4).

3-1. To assemble fan to hang down from a at or angled ceiling, insert

the downrod through the canopy. Feed the wires from the fan

through the downrod.

3-2. Loosen the setscrew on the adapter to install the pipe and ball

assembly. Note: When the pipe and ball assembly is fully installed,

2-3 threads on the pipe will still be visible; this is normal. Securely

retighten the setscrew with a wrench or pliers. Skip to Step 3-5.

CAUTION: e adapter has a special coating on the threads. Do

not remove this coating; the coating prevents the downrod from

unscrewing. Once assembled, do not remove the downrod.

3-3. Place the low prole washer into the canopy. Be sure the green

ground wire is pointing up toward the ceiling.

Note: For low prole mounting, the downrod is replaced with the

low prole washer. See Steps 3-3 – 3-4.

3-4. Align the holes in the washer with the holes in the adapter.

Assemble securely with three #8-32 x 1” screws.

3-5. Raise the fan and align the slots in the canopy with the tabs on the

ceiling plate. Go to 4 • Wiring the Fan.

WARNING: Fan may fall if not assembled as directed in these

installation instructions.

4 • Setting the Remote Transmitter and Receiver

CAUTION: e remote control device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.

Changes or modications not expressly approved by Hunter Fan Company could void

your authority to operate this equipment.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. is device may not cause harmful interference.

2. is device must accept any interference received, including interference that may

cause undesired operation.

Note: Use with a fan that incorporates an air gap switch (normal on-o wall switch).

WARNING: Maximum fan load is 1 Amp; maximum lamp is 100 Watts. Do not use

any speed control with this product.

You must now set the jumpers in the remote transmitter and receiver

so that they match.

4-1. Change the position of the jumpers in the transmitter and the

receiver. Be sure the position of the jumper in the transmitter

matches the position of the jumper in the receiver. If they don’t

match, the controller will not function. For instructions on how to

set the jumpers, read the box below.

4-2. Install the included 12-volt battery into the transmitter.

Setting Jumpers

When two or more fans are located near each other, you may desire to

have the receiver/transmitter for each fan set to a dierent code, so that

the operation of one fan does not aect the operation of the other fans.

In the transmitter you can access the jumpers from the battery

compartment. e jumpers are very small. You can move them most

easily using a small pair of pliers or tweezers. IMPORTANT! Before

you change a jumper, make sure the battery is not connected to the

transmitter.

9 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan

In warm weather, use

downward air ow pattern

In cold weather, use upward

air ow pattern

8-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.

8-2. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclockwise

blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a direct

breeze. In winter, having the fan draw air upward (clockwise blade

rotation) will distribute the warmer air trapped at the ceiling

around the room without causing a draft.

8-3. For cleaning nishes, use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to prevent

scratching. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can remove heavier

dust. Remove surface smudges or accumulated dirt and dust using

a mild detergent and a slightly dampened cloth. You may use

an artistic agent, but never abrasive cleaning agents as they will

damage the nish.

8-4. Clean wood nish blades with a furniture polishing cloth.

Occasionally, apply a light coat of furniture polish for added

protection and beauty. Clean painted and high-gloss blades in the

same manner as the fan nish.

To Change Airow Direction

Turn the fan o and let it come to a complete

stop. Slide the reversing switch on the fan to the

opposite position. Restart fan.
